Looking for an adventure next Tuesday at 2pm? Why not take a day tour of the BMI.

These tours are a wonderful way of learning about the history of this important part of Ballaarat’s heritage, still operating 6 days a week.
 
As well as our heritage listed building we have a valuable collection of heritage books, newspapers & photographs.
 
Why you don’t come on in and find out more, $10 never went so far. We would love to see you. These tours are conducted by our wonderful volunteers so bookings are encourage to ensure we have someone on duty, that said walkins are welcome.
 
Go to our Tours webpage or call the library on 5331 3042. Group bookings can be made by arrangement.
 
Find out more about the associated image in this post, then known as the Newspaper Reading Room.
